1544	uniform_01 w/ref template param causes ref to ref error	Neal Becker <ndbecker2@…>	No-Maintainer	"From uniform_01 doc:
WARNING: As an exception / historic accident, this class takes a
UniformRandomNumberGenerator as its constructor parameter, and BY VALUE.
Usually, you want reference semantics so that the state of the passed-in
generator is changed in-place and not copied. In that case, explicitly
supply a reference type for the template parameter
UniformRandomNumberGenerator.

OK, but what about:
from uniform_01.hpp:
  base_type& base() { return _rng; }

So, for example:
#include <boost/random.hpp>

typedef boost::mt19937 rng_t;
struct F {
  F (rng_t & r) :
    gen (r){}

  double operator()() { return gen(); }

  boost::uniform_01<rng_t&> gen;
};


/usr/local/src/boost.hg/boost/random/uniform_01.hpp:53: error: forming
reference to reference type ‘rng_t&’
